oh no...
This is my first post I have made on this forum, so excuse me for the mistakes I may have not noticed.
In the year 2065 (Yes @Badwolf66 if you are reading this, this is a reference.) A giant empire, Called the Dominance Confederacy was ruling 90% of all discovered galaxies. They were nearly unstoppable! They could only be defeated by one thing... themselves.

A civil war broke out between themselves. One side thought that they should slaughter all captive factions as a testament to their power. The other side thought that they should merge with the other factions to make them unbeatable.

Undetected, a group of random people, ranging between civilians to government officials escaped from the war. Now, they are spread across very few systems, trying to gain allies and avoid making enemies to grow and live peacefully. They do need protection though, so out of the ships and scraps they stole, they made these.

WARNING. These are not finished and are subject to change.

This is Trident! Only a recent addition, they are fighters with only two small lasers. NEVER alone as they are very weak, they are always in groups or with a bigger ship. Is good for propaganda. Made for @xPLAYn Comic!

Meet the Prometheus! This was the first ship built for the Republic, and it is still used today! This little fighter can deal major damage to medium sized ships in groups. It is also good in a small group of 2 or 3 against other small craft.

The Dynamic fighters are relatively weak, even in numbers, but they can still be useful with larger ships as escorts and as distractions. These are for training, police vehicles, or small skirmishes. Sorry for the real short description, i just can't think of anything.

Do you like a ship powerful, but can still swarm in numbers? Get the Finale! The Finale is amazing against 1v1 ship battles smaller than it. If it gets swarmed though, they can be in serious trouble. Due to their size, they can actually swarm ships bigger than it, this tactic and using it with bigger ships can lead to a devastating end for the opposition. But what are the bigger ships?

Like cannon-fire and destruction in the morning? The Orion has got your back! The Orion is a broadside battleship that deals heavy damage with its bullet-storm of heavy cannons and small salvo of missiles. Very effective against ships equal and smaller than its own size. If both sides are breached or destroyed, it is in a lot of trouble. If aided by a finale or more, it's duration and firepower can be put to more use. If you need to get rid of pesky missiles...

image https://i.imgur.com/HVo05zb.png
Meet the Twin! The Orion Mk2, in loss of some firepower, gains PD for missiles but has less cannons. These ships are recommended for ships that rely on salvos of missiles. If facing an enemy without missiles, call for backup. Other wise, it is nearly the exact same as its twin.

The Vertigo is one of the oldest ships of the Republic, but it has now discontinued being built as it is easily defeated by small swarms of fighters and it doesn't have enough firepower. Even though it is no-longer fighting in wars, it is still useful as it is a symbol of progression and hope. It is also sold for credits to build other ships.

If you need something to swarm an enemy, but serve different roles, try the Blockade! This is a ship that can detach to make a mini squadron, swarming the enemy. The top, called Choke Point serves as a heavy weapons ship, and a distraction for the other fighters. In order from top to bottom, is the Blockade Gunner (use your mind on this one.) the Blockade Supporter, a fighter that takes down enemy shields, and a Blockade Protector, a ship that can withstand fire while firing back.

image https://i.imgur.com/ktndZDZ.png
This is the Virgo class fighter! This fighter is traded with other factions as well as fantastic pilots. Want to bombard enemies at a long range? IT HAS MISSILES! Want to get close to enemies to see the fear in their eyes before they get obliterated? IT HAS CANNONS! Great against enemies its size and lower, and great in a swarm against Finale sized enemies.

image https://i.imgur.com/tqVLIDn.png
To surveying mining fields, to refueling other ships, the Multi-purpose station has it all! Each side is packed with rockets for orbital bombardment or assassinations of the most dangerous enemy. Each side also has two ion beams for opening shipping containers or mining in unused areas.

image https://i.imgur.com/cMASq6L.png
This is your doom. If you see it, run, just run. Cataclysm is very much like Blockade but MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better. It includes a completed Virgo swarm to shoot your enemies out of existence, and it includes the two cataclysmic shields. these are devoid of any weapons, but serve as distractions full of Armour (armor), who could miss them?

image https://i.imgur.com/knSpR6P.png
The capital ship of this republic is glorious isn't it? Behold the Ecliptic Plane! (plane is used right for this term)
It hold eight ion beams to shred your enemies finely. Each wing holds too many heavy cannons to count! This vessel can hold an extra 3 ships with it! each wing holds an escape pod/fighter with it. On the back holds a missile broadsider to help in the sidelines. 5 were made, 3 are left, 1 still in use.

image https://i.imgur.com/d9NnO7Z.png
Behold, The Drone Deployer! This nifty ship drops its drones and either escapes to safety using its FTL drive or stays for the battle. The drones maybe weak on their own (as they have NO Armour (armor)), but together, they can obliterate ships way bigger than them! Because of this, they are excellent for assassinations of high ranking enemies.

Completely aesthetic below

In the war, ships and people need to recover, so in the back of a battlefront are these! Healing stations are usually protected by two cataclysms. These ships can repair and modify ships at will, changing the course of the battle. If another area is in need or has no more ships to defend it, it will use its FTL drive to get out of there.

Border Enforcer

image https://i.imgur.com/8Ss4IXb.png
This is the Border Enforcer. It is only made to warn the Republic that danger is coming or a small threat has been averted. Only has 3 small lasers on one side. The other side wears the Flag of Alignment. (flag is from Hologram Flag mod by @clojelo. Check them out!)

The Planetary Defender

image https://i.imgur.com/UqbVVGq.png
Still a prototype, this is specifically made for @Sombreroman Multi faction war. This is like the Border Enforcer, but for planets near the edge of their border or for planets vital to winning a war. If a planet has been taken over, these ships will order an evacuation and perform orbital bombardment. Any enemy ship that escapes is hunted and destroyed. Also uses the Hologram Flag Mod.

The Biggest Fleet of Alignment has arrived...
image https://i.imgur.com/u1Kjosg.png
20 Dynamics, 7 Virgo, 2 Cataclysms, 10 Planetary Defenders, 8 Blockades, 2 of each Orion, 4 Trap Deployers, 5 Squadrons, which are made of 5 Tridents, 2 Promethieus, and a Finale each, and the leader of the fleet, Captain Lysander on the Ecliptic Plane.

More ships MAY be added
If anyone want to make an alliance, feel free to ask!

If anyone wants to use or improve these ships, you can.
They require no mods (apart from Border Enforcer and Planetary Defender)

TheLastBeacon so. i improved the orion. it has its old form. but has a bunch of new stuff.

    image https://i.imgur.com/qEVMC01.jpg

    albin_xl well done!
    Thank you for testing it!

    The New Ships are awe inspiring! We got so many in just a moment!

    Sombreroman Thank you!
    I'm actually hoping to get this faction into the Major Factions list.

    10 days later

    Help! This post is dying!

    This is... new
    This WON'T be edited into the original post as this is more of a sub-faction, anyways meet the...
    REPUBLIC CIVILIAN & MINING GROUP or RCMG
    The Miner
    image https://i.imgur.com/GnmOlpN.png
    An Asteroid Miner is Essential for the economy, so we built one! Bland name, I know, but this can double up as a fighter, as it can defeat a trident on its own! All of the asteroids mined teleports to the next ship!

    Cargo Storage
    image https://i.imgur.com/7ocrpzL.png
    This is an essential to all mining fleets in the Republic! It Holds two (Relatively weak) fighters and a cargo hold! All mined asteroids goes into its back. It holds only a little bit of firepower, so it needs to be escorted.

    The Guard
    image https://i.imgur.com/lrcgtzH.png
    (I'm running out of names here!) For every single mining fleet, there is at least one of these. These hold a surprisingly good amount of firepower for its size. Some are even used for other occasions, like escorting newly made ship designs, protecting outposts, or miscellaneous needs, like restaurants and refugee housing.

    Now that the Mining Fleet is finished, how about the civilians? These ship are unpainted on purpose, as they are just for civilians!

    Republic House
    image https://i.imgur.com/J3ZvdRH.png
    This is like a house and a vehicle stuck together! It can move on its own will, and it can FTL in-case of emergency. It also has two generators, battery storage if in a blackout, a zero gravity room for the kids, and much more for family needs! It has no weapons, in-case arguments got out-of-hand or if they were used for robbing, take-over, or other needs that are unnecessary.

    Police Craft
    image https://i.imgur.com/nRLZ2LT.png
    In-case anyone did bring in weapons and use them for harm, these would activate to stop them! Equipped with two small lasers and two electro bolts, this ship on its own can take out most threats. If a riot or a person with more advanced weaponry attacked, multiple are called to stop it.

    Republic Walls
    image https://i.imgur.com/sIsBPcV.png
    These huge ships are the walls and protectors of cities! They are only equipped with rockets, but can take a while two subdue. They protect the city inside and keep illegal goods away!

    Civilian Cruiser
    image https://i.imgur.com/QcY7Xa7.png
    They are designed to be homeless shelters, wide-scale evacuations, prison ships, bigger variants of Republic housing for the more higher ranking, boarding, or more. They are equipped with NO weapons.
